English Poii,ics in 1856.

Toward the close OF January the Irish
question was brought anew TO the front in
England, on an amendment to the Queens
address regretting that she had outlined no
measures of relief. Under Gladstone's adj
mirable leadership the amendmnt was
resigned, and Mr.. Gladstone succeeded it
with a mixed Cabinet. A labor. riot in
February followed in London on the heels
of this political revolution, and the city was
for some hours in the hands of a red-hag
mob More serious troubles that were ex-
pected did not, however, follow and the
spirit OF unrest appears to have been quiz
eseent for the remainder of the year but
that it is still alive in the great metropolis
admits of no doubt, nor that it constitutes
serious menace to social order. Labou-
cheres resolution protesting against he

down by the Commons in March.
In April the Gladstone bill for the better
ment of government in Ireland and for the
Irish Parliament, with local powers only,
aud non-military, foreign or colonial or
crown legislative powers, was given to
public criticism. He later introduced an
Irish land purchase bill. Upon the policy
OF these measures his scheme for the gov
eminent was put to the test in Parliament,
was rejected in June, and Mr.. Gladstone
went before the country on Parliamentary
election and suffered a defeat, by over 100
majority of united Conservatives and
UnIonists against him in the Commons,
and in July he resigned and Lord Salisbury
was called to be Prime Minister and formed
Cabinet At this writing the Tory party
is rent asunder by the resignation of Lord
Churchill from the Cabinet because of his
disagreement with his colleagues as to CO.

foreign policy, and the enlarged system for
county government. His expected alliance

COMMUNITY OF INTEREST.

The Los Angeles Express thus speaks
"We have never denied that orange trees
can be raised in Northern California, or
that they make very handsome ornaments.
But as business, we do not believe any
sensible man would engage in orange cult
ure there. We can raise bananas, or
almost any other tropical fruit in Los An
geles, but we cannot make it pay. North
ern California is all right, and can pro-
duce a great variety of products proftably,
but in our opinion citrus fruits are not
among them" So far, then, as the Express
is concerned, it is mere matter of its be-
lief, without any stated basis for it. The
evidence of fact is sufficient to undo all its
theorizing. The commercial testimony
that Northern California does, even in the
infancy Of the culture, ship citrus fruits to
market, and at a profit, efiectually disposes
of the last remaining defense the Express
has to offer for the course it has pursued
antagonistic to this section of the State.
We have reason now to expect at its hands
fairer treatment than in the past. In this
connection, it is simple justice to state the
fact that the great majority of our South
ern California contemporaries now treat
the capacity of Northern California for
citus-fruit culture with fairness and with.
out the color of prejudice. The people
realize, and the press reflects the public
sentiment, that whatever advances any
one section Of the State contributes to the
welfare of the entire commonwealth that
our hopes and labogs should be. as are ON
interests, mutual, aRd move upon a COM
mon plane Of harmony, to the attainment
of general prosperity.

France in 1856.

In France Grevy was re- elected 10 the
Presidency of the Republic, the Busson
Ministry fell, De Freycinet formed new
Cabinet, near the close of the year retired
under practical vote of censure that was
as ill-adyised as it was unjust. After one
rejection the French Deputies finally voted
yin march, the expulsion of the French
Princes. The Senate followed with a like
vote in June and the decree of Punishment
went into effect. France thereby drew
upon herself the adverse criticism of nearly
all other peoples; the policy being in the
United States deemed especially short
sighted and confession of weakness on
the part of the Republic. The Princes
obeyed the decree and under protest re-
tired, amid considerable popular demon
stratious of attachment, and for the re-
mainder of the year very little was heard
of them. The elections for the General
Councils in August resulted in Republican
successes in 81 out of $50 districts. To-
ward the close of the year the Cabinet was
disrupted and Goblet was called to rehabil-
itate it. Daring 1886 France steadily con-
tinued In the policy of strengthening the
military arm, and at the close of the year
had so proceeded in that direction as to
justify the fears of Germany that the
scheme to recaptGre Alsace and Lorraine
was again on foot

The laid facts concerning divorce frauds

ticn. would amaz. the people and carry
conviction of the necessity for refoco. In
fact, it cannot be shown by any opponent
to national legislation on the sakJect, that
there is any reason for, or Other than evil
resulting from this diversity q causes for
divorce, TO wit:
In some States cruelty n1Bst be extreme /;
in some repeated, in others any cruel
treatment is cause in some it must be in
tolerabIe severity, in some it must en-
danger life, or endanger health and reason,
in others simple cruelty" of any form or
kind. In some the relief for cruelty is
given only to the wife, in others to either
party. The time of necessary desertion
varies all the way from three to fifteen
years: in some States sentence to penal
servitude is cause, in others mere indict-
ment for an infamous crime is sufficient,
though the party is never arrested or tried
or convicted. In some States AN act of
adultery is cause; in others the party must
have lived in adultery with his mistress. In
| some States it is sufficient cause if the wife
| is adulterous with any man, but it is not
| cause if the husband is guilty of adultery
with an unmarried woman; in other States
| the rule that any adultery is cause applies
| to both parties. In some States this crime
| may be established by implication, in
others the testimony must be direct. The
degrees of drunkenness that justify divorce
are as varied as there are States. In some
Jurisdictions no DEGREES granted in another
State for causes not sufficient in the first
Jurisdiction, are recognized, and thus one
may be married here, and bigamist there
have lawful wife here and another in a
neighboring State. In some States any
Court makes it discreet and proper that the
divorce should be granted, or when it is
shown that the parties can no longer live
together" In at least one jurisdiction, it
is shown, no previous residence whatever
Is required, and hence one can procure a
divorce without ever having stepped within
the territory. So, too, it is possible, under
our divorce systems for one to procure a
decree without any knowledge of the pro-
ceedings reaching the other party to the
marriage relation If the people we're
fully informed, as they can be, of the sim
pie statistics of crime, scandal, wrong,
misery, outrage, bigamy and legalized polyg-
amy under the laws as they stand, we be-
lieve they would become practically unani-
nous in their demand for uniform or
national marriage and divorce law and
some day such law will be agreed to.

The Bulgarian Throne.

Toward the close of the year 1885 Servia
and Bulgaria were at war, with a result
ultimately in favor of Prince Alexander,
whose proves in arms was surprise to
the world, as il was evidence of unques-
toned ability to command. In December

strong, beneicent, and generally agreeable
to the people. But the independence of
The Prince excited the fears of Russia. Dis
cord was fomented, revolutionary party
formed, and Alexander forced to abdicate
in August. A provisional government was
set up, speedily overthrown, and Alexander
returned and recrowned by the officers of
the army. 0bedient to the Cars wish and
threat, he however soon abdicated and a

the throne, the Gar Directing, but it is not
believed with sincerity-and naming in
stead the Prince of MiDgrelia, an officer in
his own guards, and altogether an insig-
nificant person. AT this writing the mat
ter remains unsettled, with the Powers I'M
decided what course shall be taken. But
advices from private correspondence are
that the seeming objection to and decllna-
ton of Waldemar are insincere, and that
the Gar really means that this latter
Prince shall ultimately occupy the Bulga

between Russia and Turkey, the eousum-
nation of which is prevented by the
rumored interposition of England, will
probably hasten the settlement of the qUes-

By habit, some of OR contemporaries
began to criticise the Legislature, be-
before any legislation has been attempted,
basing their adverse criticisms upon the
want of faith in the ability of the houses
to be of much benefit to the State. We
submit that this "forehandedness" in ijudg-
ment is unbecoming the justice which the
press boasts it uniformly conserves. 1t
is early time enough to Judge the Legisla-
ture harshly when it shall have deserved
it. Meanwhile it is the duty of good citi-
zenship to aid rather than discourage the
representative body of the people.

ToBoGGANING.
Before close | must tell you of new
craze which has become epidemic through
ont the Northwest and counts its devotees
and victims by thousands. 1t is toboggan-
ing or sliding down hill-coasting as prac-
ticed among the hills of the New England
States ever since the settlement of North
America. There are no hills here. Chicago
is built on prairie as level as the San
Joaquin valley, and the slides are artificial.
One on the West Side is 700 feet long, and
has schultz about 100 feet high, rising
at an angle of 40 degrees. This is covered
with ice and is made in grooves about three
feet wide; on either side is a guard of ice
| about ten inches high, to keep the toboggan
in place. The toboggan is a fiat bottomed
hand sled, about four feet long and two
feet wide, and is calculated to carry four
people. The parties are made up of ladies
| and gentlemen, or boys and girls, as they
call themselves, no matter what age. They
go to the top of the slide, where a man
arranges the party on the toboggan. A
lady sits in front with her feet
tucked close against the front
guard, then gentleman sits behind
astride with his feet tucked up around her /;
then another lady and then gentleman
| whose duty it is to guide the toboggan.
They are then started down with rush
like a locomotive engine at full speed, and
| in less time than it takes to tell about it,
are at the bottom. If nothing happens
they get down safely, and then one of the
number carriers the toboggan up, and the
others follow to the top again, and repeat
| the exhilarating performance. Il know a
man who weighs 800 who tried it. He
only made one trip, and, although there
was pretty woman in front to hold to, he
didn't want to try it again. The strain on
his muscles was too great and the pace too
| rapid. l know this is true, for that man
was myself.
l will write TO the REcoRD-UN1oN again
concerning the progress and results of the
fair. H. N. V.

The San Francisco Examiner, which sell
dom thinks above the party level, says OF
the ruling that the canvass of the vote for
Governor could not proceed because of the
absence of some of the returns: " If this
be a correct Interpretation of the law, the
failure of County Clerk to perform his
duty can postpone the Inauguration of the
Governor indefinitely" By no means
such conclusion is not warranted For
behind the negligence of County Clerk
are the Courts and law officers of the
State to compel the delinquent official to
do his duty. Indeed, the Legislature it.
self probably would be justified in issuing
its mandate to the Clerk, compelling him
to transmit to the chief officer of one OF
its houses the returns required by the
Constitution.
